There are many challenges affecting land rights among widows. The study explored three factors that were addressed by the specific objectives and this limited the study to explore on more other factors that negatively affects land rights among widows. Suggestions for further studies is hence advisable to contribute towards identification of more other factors that affect land rights among widows and assist towards solving issues which may be affecting widows as regards to land maters.

Further, there is need to research on other areas outside Boro division in Siaya County regarding land rights among widows so as to ensure equal rights within the entire County. This will help the ministry of lands and urban housing in identifying areas of improvement and measures to be taken to address the same.
